Loss of appetite at 12 weeks?
Our boy has always been a big eater and a big baby and has been asking for up to 180ml every 3 hours since about 10 weeks - may sound excessive but we were given the green light because his weight was tracking well! For the past week or so, he seems to not finish his bottle at all and sometimes will only take 50-80m...
